A child miseducated is a child lost.
Garrison Keillor
Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us, hovering, averting our eyes, and they seldom offer thanks, but what we do for them is never wasted.
Give Love to the Children
Give Love to the children, Children need love everyday
Give love to the children Guide them on their way
Love's like a burning flame consumes all that stands in the way
Love is the only power on earth to take all the hatred away
GIVE LOVE TO THE CHILDREN set the children free
To make their own decisions then they will clearly see
Love is the sun the moon and the stars love is a golden ring
Love is the one thing the whole world desires be it beggar or king
GIVE LOVE TO THE CHILDREN youth has not long to stay
Love is a long term investment the best you will find any day
Love like the rising sun takes all the darkness away
Our children will tell their children and their children will say
Give love to the children they are our crock of gold
and if perchance they ever stray they will come back to the fold
Give love to the children the children of today
Give love to the children and love will come to stay.

“You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done”

I really enjoyed reading Give Love to the Children. How beautiful and true.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing so much of yourself and what you know during this class. I look forward to working with you more in the next class.
Einstein said it best - I think we might all be a bit insane at times!
Hi Venuri,
ReplyDeleteYou have been a great contributor to the DB. Your blog entries have been so insightful. It is clear that you are passionate about excellence. Great job!
Your second quote resonates deep within me because I firmly believe that our children should only be exposed to great teachers. We need to expose our children to teachers who are passionate about what they do; they are the ones who will go the extra mile to ensure that what they are exposing our children to will enhance their development, they are the ones who ensure that the topics are well researched and that a hierarchical process is used to guide children into active engagement.
We cannot afford to gambol with our children’s future.
All the best! Hoping to share more great moments with you!
Hi Ms. V,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your sharings and your insights throughout the course. Your motivation, and your support were well within the boundaries of early childhood development and I really appreciate that. As we strive to create a better environment for our children may we do it with patience, advocacy, and trust, because whatever we do today will have a guarantee for what will happen to future generations of children.
Your quote from Garrison Keillor is a powerful one. It reflects part of our roles and responsibilities as early childhood educators. Well said!
Thanks for a fulfilling eight weeks!
Venuri,
ReplyDeleteHugs can do great amounts of good-especially for children. Expressive and demonstrative love, care, compassion in action can lighten or ease the burdened state of minds of people (including children) in tight or tough situations.
